Episode notes

Paul and Barnabas begin to teach clearly both Jew and non Jew or Jew and Gentile. They ultimately begin to be called Christians, which we think was probably a derogatory at that point. This area, as we're going to see in chapters 13 and 14, is basically Southern Galatia. For most of history, the scholars have believed that it's these people and people in 13 and 14 that we're about to see Paul wrote the letter to the Galatians.

How does understanding God's nature help us understand missionary work and priesthood authority? Dr. Michael Goodman explores the expanding Church, Peter's growth, and God's prophetic pattern for teaching His children.
